I hate my hair. It’s the one thing on my body that I’m most self concious of. I don’t know why though. I have a mop of curly hair that, along with everyone else I know, gets associated with me and who I am, what my personallity is. It is who I am, but for some reason I fear it the most. I’m slowly beginning to embrase it. When I straighten it any more I don’t feel like it’s me. Like I’m telling a big fat lie! I don’t straighten in as much as I used to because of that.

When I was 20 I went to South Korea. While I was there I learned about their ESL opportunities. To teach English there, you would get your ticket paid for there and back, you would have your apartment paid for, insurance, and a guarenteed job for 6 months to a year. That’s when I first got the idea in my mind that I needed to live in another country. I thought this would be the perfect way for me to have a secured job and a decent place to stay too. But at 20 I didn’t have my bachelors degree and a couple of life/family things got in my way. At 25, life issues, though drastically different, are still in my way! I probably could go as soon as I get my braces off, but then I would be missing out on paid-for graduate credits. Having a masters degree and teaching over there means more money, which is always nice, but also a nicer/bigger apartment, and better working hours. That and I wouldn’t have to deal with high school kids. I would be teaching adults who area actually wanting to learn English not because they have to. I’m still pondering over what I should do. I should be done with grad school in 2-2 1/2 years… I don’t know what I’m going to do!

I’m terrible at saving my money! I’ve paid off quite a few of my credit cards, but I can’t keep money in my savings account! I want it there for those ‘Oh Sh*t!’ moments. So I don’t have to keep asking daddy for money to get me out of those moments!
